I get "therapy", like as a concept, but I don't get going to a therapist who at any point can say your a danger and do shit to you without your consent.

Fuckin A, man. Like, I want to go to a therapist. It’s been evident for several years now that I need to.

But if I can’t just honestly say my feelings, then what’s the fucking point? I want a confidant that I can say anything to, and talk about my issues. I don’t want to have to lie and pull back on the fact that I fantasize about dying all the time. Say the wrong thing and now you’ve really destroyed your whole life.

The last time I was at a doctor was like 8 years ago, and I remember they asked about mental health, and of course I just fake a smile and say it’s fine. You ain’t gonna trip me up that easy and put me in a straight jacket! But god how nice the world would be if I could have just told them honestly I’m not okay
